Nkwali Camp is located in the private game management area of Nkwali overlooking the South Luangwa National Park. A superb game viewing area, within a beautiful environment of ebony woodland and open grasslands.
Nkwali Camp is situated on the banks of the Luangwa River in the Nkwali area of central South Luangwa. The area surrounding the camp offers excellent game viewing whilst access to the park is either by boat or on the nearby pontoon which is a wonderful experience in itself.
The six chalets are large, cool and spacious, with great views of the river. The front of each room is open during the day and then closed off by grill doors at night. The ensuite bathrooms have double sinks and showers, which are open to the skies during the dry season.
The bar area, right on the edge of the Luangwa banks, is built around a huge ebony tree with fantastic views of the river and across to the park. The dining room is a simple thatched structure by the lagoon, however most meals are served under the trees by the lagoon or the river, on the deck, or in the bush.
The private Robin’s House is also located here and stands on the riverbank, under a grove of large ebony trees with lovely views. There are two luxury bedrooms, each with its own large bathroom and a central sitting room and dining area. There is a private kitchen and chef, along with a valet, so meals can be served where and when guests like. A private guide and safari vehicle are available for game viewing activities so everything is flexible which works well for private groups or families.
Nkwali Camp is open all year and the seasons are basically divided into the “dry season” (mid May – October) and the “emerald season” (November – mid May). Owned and operated by Robin Pope Safaris the camp combines well with its sister-camps at Nsefu Camp and Tena Tena Camp which are further north within the park and offer superb walking safaris during the dry season.
We visited Nkwali in October 2009 and really appreciated its location and style whilst also having the feel of a rustic camp. The bar and dining area location is particularly special whilst the game viewing close to camp was superb.

We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
